Focus on Race & Politics
I talked with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick about the importance of racial diversity in politics today.

Patrick is the first black governor of the Commonwealth, and currently the only sitting black governor in the country.
Focus on Sustainable Agriculture
Massachusetts farmers gathered at the State House in Boston April 7 for “Massachusetts Agriculture Day.” Gov. Deval Patrick, Energy & Environmental Affairs Secretary Richard Sullivan and Agricultural Commissioner Scott Soares spoke about the importance of local food and sustainable agriculture. The event was also used to announce the establishment of the Massachusetts Food Policy Alliance.
